Handling imported styles

MacEachaidh · 07-25-2010, 03:45 AM

I've created a document in Adobe's InDesign, exported to ePub format, and opened it in Sigil. I let InDesign use the Paragraph and Character styles created in the document to create the CSS file.

In Sigil, the drop-down Styles box only lists the 5 default "Heading" styles. If I need to revise the formatting, how do I apply one of the styles specified in the CSS to lines or sections of text in the body of the document?

(There are more than 5 styles, so even if I rename the styles in InDesign to "Heading 1" etc, I'm still going to have apply custom named styles at some point.)

You can edit the file in code view, there you can use any style which is included in the stylesheet.

OK, thanks, weatherwax. But ...

Hmmm. Do you mean by manually overtyping the "class" name?

That's not what I expected from a WYSIWYG editor, somehow. Seems a bit hit-and-miss, doesn't it?

Or have I missed the point?

It will be added in time. There are many, many feature requests (not to mention bug reports) and only a limited amount of hours in a day.
